Nutribullet, Magic Bullet, Other?



Recommended Posts

Hi all! Now that I've progressed to the "try out some shakes before your upcoming liquid diet" stage, I'm thinking I'm going to buy something to help make the shakes as tasty as possible. Can anyone share what they use to make shakes, aside from a plain old Blender Bottle?

TIA!

I have both. The magic bullet is more of a basic smoothie machine. You def want the Nutribullet or similar that Emulsifies all seeds/ Nuts/ Veggies etc to get all the nutrients. I use the magic bullet for basic Protein Powder shakes with ice, frozen fruit n the such.

Same here. I use the Nutribullet for everything. I am currently in the puree stage and it works perfectly. I also use it for my chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Shakes.< /p>

How r u digesting the raw veggies n fruits from the shake? What else r u putting in them during your 2 weeks of purée? I go in Tuesday, so I'm trying to get as much prepared today n tomorrow, just made a pot of creamed Soup that I will purée in the Nutribullet, separate n freeze.

I got a NutriNinja after I read a Consumer Reports testing that said metal shards broke off the NutriBullet blades when using it with ice (which it's not intended to handle, I guess).

I use a Bella Cucina Rocket Blender, Patinum Edition.

. Someone gave me one several years ago and I have been making my shake with it for the past two years or more. After surgery I found out that it purees my food really good too. I found the best place to buy one is on eBay or Amazon. I like them so well I bought one for work and one as a gift

My wife made me a chicken stew that I put in it and it worked out great. One thing I really enjoyed though was chicken broth and cooked chicken breast in this little machine. Came out real creamy and had to dilute it with more broth but was really great. Works great with frozen fruit too.

Now that i am on regular foods I only use it for an occasional shake.< /p>

I use "Better Than Bouillon" low sodium, for broth. Great all by itself.

They also say this one is easier to clean than the Nutribullet but never tried it or the Magic Bullet.

I have a Ninja blender. It is great for shakes but I would not recommend it for smoothies. It does not do well with a lot of frozen fruit or ice. If I am making a smoothie, I have to use an ice shaver.

With my plan I am not allowed raw veggies only cooked. So far I am just doing the creamy Peanut Butter. I did put a small piece of banana one time. My NUT suggested a little pineapple in my cottage cheese.I did puree a little piece of chicken with some cream of chicken soup and it was good. I had to add more broth because it was too thick.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
